This assignment allows students to use the abstract concept “love” to practice the process of social research. Over the course of a three-week period students will (1) conceptualize this abstract concept, (2) operationalize their variable, (3) create a survey, (4) distribute the survey to fellow classmates, (5) analyze data using a simple table of means, and (6) construct a write-up describing their process. The assignment is broken down by week, providing students with worksheets that help guide them through each step in the process. Simple data collection and analysis are required for completion. Student Learning Objectives and guidelines for assessment are included.
